The EU Covid-19 certificate will be available in digital or paper format, and will verify the holder’s negative Covid status through evidence of vaccination, a recent negative test for Covid-19 or recent recovery from the infection.
Certificates won’t serve as a travel document, and nor will they become a pre-condition for EU citizens to exercise their right to free movement within the Schengen Area, MEPs resolved.
There will be provisions too for citizens of third countries, such as the UK, seeing to travel within the EU, so long as they have travelled legally to the bloc and met any entry requirements.
